    There are no words to explain how excellent this game is. The best I have tried in many years and, of course, the best Spider-Man.

    Got to play this game after my brothers played it first and the wait to play was worth it. Web slinging is so fluid and combat is similar to the Arkham series, but different enough to feel new. However, there were minor bugs in my playthrough, but none game-breaking or frustrating really. Seriously fun and an amazing story. Looking forward to new game plus and sequels.

    i think this is the best spiderman game ever. you can really feel that insomniac did all they could to make this the best spiderman game. and i can say that it is. the web swinging is one of the best things in the game but it's not the best. i would say that the best thing is the story, it's the best story out of all the all the games.

    Was surprised at how good the story is. The story was mediocre at first, but the game play is so enticing that it kept me in just long enough for the story to hook me. Story does finish off great. So satisfying to swing through New York, only used the fast travel a couple times late at night to finish off one more mission before bed.

    This game truly is the best Spider-Man game we have ever seen, hands down. The story and character development was absolutely fantastic.

Also, Insomniac Games did an incredible job building up the characters, so you really feel connected to them, much like Undertale. The boss fights, though at times a bit anticlimactic, were amazing, and felt really good to beat. The skill points and various tokens you get by going around town completing assorted challenges are just so much fun. I think that Insomniac Games captured the character of Spider-Man perfectly, and Spidey's quips are just hilarious. Hats off to whoever worked on the dialogue. They went into so much detail, even adding in a few easter eggs. This game is flawless, from head to toe, and I can't wait for the sequel to this masterpiece of a video game!… Expand

    As a long time Spidey-fan, this game is everything I wanted. Great story, awesome web slinging and fight mechanics and outstanding visuals. Everything you have asked from a Spider-man game, this one has it. Maybe a little more variety in the secondary missions and events would have been nice, but still, even some of them are very good. 100% recommended, even for non-Spidey fans!

    For me this undeniable THE BEST GAME OF THE YEAR.

    Having said that, it doesn't come without its flaws. The combat system takes a lot time to master. But once you do, it's simply addictive. Just like the swing mechanics, they take a while to sink in but there's something so amazing about swinging everywhere. Stunning graphics, great storyline, amazing acting. Engaging and funny writing.    For me this undeniable THE BEST GAME OF THE YEAR.

    Stunning graphics, great storyline, amazing acting. Engaging and funny writing.

    It does tend to get repetitive after a while, and the storyline is a bit uneven with great moments of action and then just... nothing to do other than sidequests.
    The leveling system is super friendly. The gadgets are cool and the SUITS ARE JUST... EVERYTHING.

    Can't wait for the DLCs. Can't recommend this game enough.    … Expand

    I'm not sure if there's any word in the English dictionary to express how good this game is. Everything from the compact, graphics, audio, story are just simply amazing. Even just the swinging makes you feel like Spider-man. It's the best game ever period.

    About the swinging, it's probably the best and most fun traveling system in any open world game, it's so fun that you don't want to fast travel!
    The combat is also excellent, i say it's even better than arkham's combat, which this game draws inspiration from, it's the same fast flow combat, jumping from guy to guy, but it's different and more challenging, especially because spidey can't take too many hits unlike batman.
    Now for the less great part about the game, the open world activities and side-quests, they aren't bad, it's just that the rest of the game is so incredible that these activities seem "less quality", they're still a bit fun at worse but can be better, but i still enjoyed them especially the backpacks and landmarks.

    VERDICT: it's an incredible game that doesn't bring new stuff to the table, but perfects the game mechanics that we knows, and the story makes up for it's flaws.    … Expand

    There are myriad good reasons why Marvel's Spider-Man is the best-selling and highest-rated Spider-Man title in years. While it has a few glaring flaws, they pale in comparison to all of the things the team at Insomniac got right. A well-acted, strong story serves as the backbone for an experience that just plain feels right for Spider-Man, and fans and newcomers alike won't be disappointed by this trip to the Spider-verse.

    This game does for Spider-Man what the Arkham series did for Batman. Immensely satisfying movement system, excellent combat, fast pace, superb visuals and wealth of side activities converge to bring a wonderful experienced, diluted only by some minor missteps in the story and a couple of stealth sequences where you control supporting characters instead of Spidey.
